Installing Chris Finch
Share this story
THE NEW HEAD COACH of the Wolves is running on fumes. It’s been a whirlwind past 48 hours for Chris Finch after being tabbed by President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas as the next head coach in a bold and rare midseason move. On a Zoom call following morning shootaround in Milwaukee, Finch says he’s slept about 3 or 4 hours the night before.
When Ryan Saunders was fired late Sunday night after another loss in New York, news that Finch was being plucked away from Nick Nurse and the Toronto Raptors’ coaching staff broke quickly after. A swift, almost dizzying introduction followed. There are no offseason workouts, nor training camp or preseason games, to implement his system or familiarize himself with the roster. Instead, a back-to-back awaits the league’s worst team.
